Daffodils - have I said that before?

The first border beside the terrace snakes away in
a ribbon of Daffodils
























I've hear baby birds starting to cheep from their nests under our eaves as we enjoy what has been described as "exceptionally mild weather" which I must admit I prefer to "Exceptionally Cold" and the season is turning to Spring.

Spud has grown towards adulthood and abandoned the stuffed mice and catnip toys, leaving them rather sadly in little corners. He is now  waging a one cat war on the countryside. Our gardening neighbours are thrilledd with his  cat Armageddon conducted on the local rabbits but I must Charles and i have developed a pincer strategy to rescue the bunnies and return them to the field -  I distract or grab the cat and Charles seizes the bunny but don't tell anyone! All around us now the bird scarers boom as the farmers get ready to harvest the next crop of spring greens and cabbages and our garden is filling with Daffodils particularly the miniature ones that I have rather a fondness for. We have entered the season of Daffodils or have I said that before?!

  1. Aaaaaaaaah, how I've enjoyed your last few posts, with Spring ushered in in a blaze of sunny colour! Er, we have one daffodil just opening this morning as I see to the fowl! Danni and Ollie look completely chilled,happy days.
    You can have our three million rabbits anyday as the spears of Spring barley just poke through and they get out their knives and forks... will you put Spud out on loan? Holly and Heather (cocker & border collie) just can't fit it in to their busy schedule on the tractor! Off to cook breakfast INTHESUN at last! Look forward to more lovely pics.

  2. Hi Mrs.G.H. Thanks for the support! Spud is still on a one cat crusade so probably can't undertake any special missions yet but glad the dogs are dedicated tractor drivers - they are probably doing a survey, followed by putting the whole issue out to consultation after which they will take advice! Mega day for sunshine again today read on! Christine
